"SANATOGEN will soon put him right again*

Physicians know by experience, how quickly and surely Sanatogen will build up strength in debilitated patients.

Whatever the cause of the weakness, be it illness, overwork or warry, Sanatogen cannot fail to do good. The phosphorus it contains is pure strength to the weakened nerve-cells. The alumin is nature's own building material of bodily power. It is the intricate com bination of these two elements that has won Sanatogen the written recommendations of over 25,000 physicians. And the splendid part of it is that Sanatozen is not only a true tonic-food, but also very easily digestible, so that the weakest patient, and the weakest stomach, can digest it

Sanatogen must do you good. It does not interfere with any medical treatment, and every glassful brings you nearer to perfect health again. Shorten that tedious period of convalescence. Be strong and healthy again. You can if you start your course of Sanatogen today.

Preventive measures could be most successfully applied by the wearing of respiratora and the brushing of stone free from ac cumulated dust.
